At the end of the first year, participants are invited to apply to the second level of the program. Those accepted will transition into a more intensive personal development curriculum. Others are signposted to several organisations for placements to gain work experience. EASI will continue working with all participants on the program to encourage peer to peer mentoring, community coaches and Entrepreneurship.
